48 Best American Restaurants near Long Lake

“We had a family birthday party on the patio and Evan's service was five star. It started out as a pizza party until the family saw the dinner menu. Pizzas, pastas and burgers were delicious and all came out at the same time! Bravo Primo! Very well done!“

“2 nights in a row some of the best food i have had in a long time. The royal burger and the house salad were absolutely fantastic. The fajitas were just perfection, flavor, cook, quantity and plating. It is a must try place!!“

“Birch's is one of the best places to go in the entire Twin Cities. It's unique yet, classic in many ways. Delicious food. Great Staff. Beautiful Ambiance. The crowds always bring a great energy.“

“This was a wonderful cruise with dinner and two of us were able to join captain Jim at the helm while others enjoyed dinner and sights of the beautiful lake during our Navy Reunion being held in the area this year. We highly recommend this cruise!“

“Ryan was the absolute best server that I have encountered in my life! I have an anaphylaxis food allergy. He was so on top of making sure that whatever I ordered wasn't going to be an issue. He checked with the head chef 3 different times about different entrees, so I could have the best experience. We are from out of town and will definitely be back due to the great service provided. Ryan, thank you so much for being so attentive in regards to my allergy. Tonight's experience made your restaurant, one I will always recommend.“

“This is one of our favorite places, we make sure to come every month for the bloody of the month. Today I had the breakfast tacos and old fashion, amazing food and drinks. Our waitress was fantastic super nice and conversational we’ll be lifetime customers. Mags our waitress was amazing - promote ahead of peers give her annual bonus. ✨“

“The service is horrible. Waited 20mins before getting someone to take just our drink order and it was the bartender from inside not even our server that noticed we were still sitting there with nothing. Then barley good service once our waiter did finally come. We all could have had another drink but never could since we werent asked till after we were done with food. Food was actually really good and good portions for the price. But the service ruined it. I can't recommend this place and don't know if we will back. Plenty of other places with good food that actually have good service.“

“Food is very tasty and price could be more reasonable, staff is wonderful“

“Food was amazing, prompt service, and fun atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“Great experience tonight at Zupas. Always get great service, especially at the Draper Zupas. Jon runs a tight ship and it is always clean and the staff ( Alyssa, Maya, Marilu, Kami, Brynn) 5 Star. Let’s go“

“We had a brunch for 16 people at 11am. While they weren't able to hold seating/make reservations; they were able to make it a very short waiting time. Page and the serving crew were amazing! We had no waiting time on ordering and our server was professional and speedy. They kept the drinks coming and we had someone in our party with a lot of special food needs and they were wonderful! First place we've been to where my husband could eat an entire meal to his fill. The food was delicious! No one in the entire party had a single complaint! Wonderful blueberry rice sausages, eggs, pancakes, taco salad, hot tea, coffee, French toast, hashbrowns, English muffins, toast, and more! The decor is adorable! We're so lucky to have found this little cafe as we're from all around the US here for a wedding. It seems to be a local favorite as it was packed! Younger generations and older and everywhere in between! THE go to place if you live in the area or if you're just visiting! You won't be disappointed! Thank you for helping make our visit so wonderful! 10 STARS!“

“The turkey cranberry sandwich and chicken salad was very good. Three of us shared them and had leftovers. We were there at lunchtime, so it was very busy. They were yellow jackets wasps keeping us on edge. The waiters were very helpful.“

“We had a lovely brunch experience today. While the food and drinks were wonderful, our visit was GREATLY enhanced by the AMAZING service we received from Colin. What a gem of a young man you have!“

“We hosted our daughter’s ceremony in Medina Entertainment center, and the service and coordination were exceptional. Everything was perfectly planned and executed just as we had requested. The ceremony went smoothly, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. The event coordinator Christy, bar server, and food server all did an outstanding job. I would definitely plan my next event here again. Thank you“

“Last night, we held a real estate client party at Rush Creek and the entire event was perfectly executed. From the initial meeting a few weeks earlier to the final guest walking out, it was a wonderful evening. Great food, craft cocktails and dedicated servers who were outstanding. Loved how management checked in to ensure everything was flowing well and to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Rush Creek for any event you and your organization/wedding/biz are planning. Thank you Rush Creek for creating wonderful memories for us and our valued clients.“

“Romeo would like to thank this Culver’s for making him his very last gigantic vanilla Sunday this morning 02/10/2022 at 10:00 am! He had half now and will have the other half before it’s time to say goodbye! Only the best for the very best dog✨ 💖💟 Thank you Culver’s employees for making his morning tasty.“

“Came here for breakfast with our daughter and granddaughter. What a wonderful experience. Hospitality spectacular, service staff were helpful, kind and attentive. The food was 5 star. We will be back soon.“

“Our two visits to Layline have both been excellent. Enthusiastic servers and terrific food. Our favorite menu item has been the Watermelon salad. We had it on both visits and it was extraordinary both times.
We've enjoyed the Bywater Burger, Chicken Sandwich, Pork Chop and the Sea Bass. All were terrific. Duck fat fries also fantastic. We will definitely be back for more.“

“Had a wonderful experience for dinner on a very busy Dec. 23rd. Our party of 3 arrived at about 6:10 to a waiting list of approx. 6 other parties. We were told 20 minutes to wait, it was no more than 15 minutes. Service was spot-on time-wise and efficiency-wise. Food was excellent. Portions were huge. I feel it is a great place to enjoy a meal.“

“Well, let's see. I thought it was going to be like a sit-down, relax restaurant. Take your time. Might take a little while for your food to come out. Our server, Ashley, was nice. Quick to come take our order, quick to offer a refill when the beverage ran out. Our meals came out so quickly, though. It felt like not even 20 minutes went by after we placed the order and BAM meals arrive. They must've read my order incorrectly. I said no bleu cheese and it came out with bleu cheese. They brought it back and then like 20 minutes later, brought me a new plate. It looked like they just scraped the side dishes from the original plate to the new plate. They were cold where the extra butter I ordered didn't even melt. The waffle fries on my wife's plate, in my opinion, were cold or old. Wife said they were fine. Service was great! Ashley provided a little discount since they messed up my order. Food on the other hand, felt more like a quick service restaurant versus a sit-down, relax restaurant. No offers for dessert. I didn't even see a dessert menu or on the main menu. This really wasn't the best experience, but not the worst experience. I only recommend Clive's because Ashley was so quick and friendly. For the rest, no I would NOT recommend Clive's.“

“I toured today with Jill Farina. This is an amazing place- I’ve toured many to calm my nervousness about at some point, needing to move to a place that offered care and support. For the first time, I have no fear of this- in fact, I might even be excited about this new chapter when the time comes.“

“Great staff and food. Very fresh has a fun golf club machine“

“Disclosure: I have a kiddo that works here. Haven’t reviewed bc of that.

Exception follows! Thank you Culver’s for providing thee only thing my kiddo can eat post wisdom teeth extraction.

Your CUSTARD has been a lifesaver. Will be back for more on Day 2.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!“

“Friends who live in the area took me out for dinner at Roberts. I selected a starter for my meal as I wasn't that hungry. Ordered the quesadillas. They were dine but I was perplexed with the sides of lettuce, tomatoes, etc...that more like salad components. They certainly couldn't be added to the quesadillas easily. I asked for some ranch dressing and made a side salad. Some tortilla chips and or some frioles would have been a better accompaniment. Sam, our server was an absolute delight. Give that young man a raise. Atmosphere was quiet and we could converse easily.“

“My 1st time there. my favorite was the apple fritter bites. Melts in my mouth. Very good , I will be back.“

“Great service…great food…great prices!“

“Amazing brunch- chicken biscuits and gravy. Excellent service and staff!“

“Awesome place to grab a bite to eat on the lake. The Wharf just git renovated and it looks awesome! Fantastic place for the whole family“

“We have had a few special celebrations at Applebees and Mike always makes them so memorable. He goes above and beyond always! He has such a calm demeanor and is such a good person you can tell! We always feel taken care of and you just don’t find that anymore in the service industry.“

“Houlihan's is one of our go to places! The food is great, always consistent and a step above the run of the mill American fair. And the staff, Steve (the icon), Jake, Annie, Nip, Ross and don't forget Art (Happy retirement) are the greatest we love seeing their happy faces!“

“The ordering to go was amazingly fast. No sitting in a one hour drive through backup! Who knew!!!“

“Can’t wait to go back for great food and service“

“Great Irish/American comfort food on the menu. Irish Rolls were great, Shepherd Pie, and Meatloaf all done so well. Met Chef James at Twins game and made a special short 20 minute trip out from our downtown hotel. Food was worth the trip, staff was absolutely great and friendly. We brought our pup with us, plenty of outdoor sidewalk and patio seating, and a water dish provided. Will be back again.“

“I don't normally write reviews unless I get bad service. But I find this Perkins in Maple Grove MN to be Awesome. This is my families Perkins of choice passing by two others much closer Perkins just to go to the Maple Grove location. Our server Taylor was attentive, polite and very in tune to our groups needs. She is and example of what a waitress or waiter should be. The food was great and the building / bathroom cleanliness was expletory. My hats off to the manager and staff of the Maple Grove Perkins just south of 694 on Hemlock Lane.“

“I’m looking forward to having another dining option in Maple Grove! The menu looks exceptional, and I’m excited to see what Tiffany’s has to offer.

I do think Matt’s two-star review is a little unfair, considering Tiffany’s hasn’t even had the chance to open its doors yet.

I can’t wait to give it a try!“

“Had a yummy chicken sandwich and it was the best I’ve ever had!! Delicious! Shared a homemade pumpkin bar that was amazing!! Also the best I’ve ever had!! Our Service was outstanding!! Very friendly staff! We will be back!!! Thank you!“

“1st time here...great food and the staff were so warm and welcoming! Support this place :)“

“Lots of dirty tables and wet floor. Ordered quickly and food was delivered to table quickly. Parking was good but trying to leave by the drive thru was backed up with cars waiting to get food delivered to cars making it difficult to exit that way.“

“Lovely atmosphere and great food!“

“absolutely delicious food great service And very friendly staff“

“I have experienced this place. It must be said that it is like a flower paradise. The scenery is very beautiful. I really like this place.“
